INTERIM RESULTS FOR THE HALF YEAR TO 1 OCTOBER 2005 6 DECEMBER 2005 Halma, the leading safety, health and sensor technology group, today announces its interim results for the 26 weeks to 1 October 2005. Highlights include: • A 9% increase in revenue from continuing operations at £152.4m (2004: £140.1m), with adjusted profit from continuing operations* up by 8% to £26.6m (2004: £24.6m)** • Organic revenue and profit growth from continuing operations of 6% • Recovery of Water and Resistors businesses going to plan • Completion of two high-quality acquisitions, disposal of one non-core business and exit from unprofitable Resistor Transit contracts • Progressive dividend policy maintained with 5% growth underpinned by strong cash generation * before taxation and amortisation of acquired intangible assets ** under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), with restated comparatives Commenting on the results, Andrew Williams, Chief Executive of Halma, said: 'In my first operating review in our Annual Report 2005, I stated that my top priority for the Group was to generate organic growth. It is pleasing to report we have made a good start. During the first half we delivered underlying organic revenue and profit growth of 6%. It is important to note that profit growth has been driven by a healthy increase in revenues whilst strong product margins and effective control of our assets and costs have been maintained. 'I continue to be impressed by what is being achieved and can see a greater sense of common purpose across the Group. It is heartening to see actions starting to translate into improved financial results too. I believe the progress made so far this year already has put the Group in a stronger position to deliver organic growth on a more sustainable basis.

Revenue from continuing operations was up 9% at £152.4 million (2004: £140.1 million)*. We achieved organic revenue and profit growth of 6%.* Return on total invested capital increased to 12.5% (2004: 12.2%)*. During the period we made two acquisitions: Netherlocks Safety Systems B.V. and Radio-Tech Limited, and disposed of one non-core business, SEAC Limited. The interim dividend will amount to 2.71 pence per share, an increase of 5%, and will be paid on 8 February 2006 to shareholders on the register at 6 January 2006. *see Financial Highlights Chairman's Statement Geoff Unwin, Chairman of Halma, said: 'Andrew Williams, our new CEO, has made a good start in his first complete half-year with the Group reporting record profits and organic growth in both revenue and profit. He has re-focussed the business along three major divisions: - Infrastructure Sensors - Health and Analysis - Industrial Safety. 'Our two acquisitions and one disposal support this focus. 'We are also seeing significant rejuvenation of management at all levels which is feeding through into an increased rate of progress within the Group. Pleasing to see. 'The Board remains confident of the Group's prospects for the full year.' Chief Executive's Review Andrew Williams, Chief Executive of Halma, said: Organic growth of 6% achieved 'In my first operating review in our Annual Report 2005, I stated that my top priority for the Group was to generate organic growth. It is pleasing to report we have made a good start. During the first half, for our continuing activities we delivered revenue growth of 9%* on profit growth of 8%*. Statutory profit from continuing operations was £26.4 million (2004: £24.4 million). Underlying organic revenue and profit growth were both 6%*. 'There was strong growth in both our Industrial Safety and Health and Analysis sectors - each achieving double-digit revenue increases. The former showed the benefits of our vigorous actions to achieve recovery in our Resistors business and a strong performance from our Process Safety companies. The latter benefited from the planned recovery in Water and continued progress in Optics and Fluid Technology. Significantly, profit growth has been driven by a healthy increase in revenues whilst strong product margins and effective control of our assets and costs have been maintained. 'Infrastructure Sensors, incorporating our Fire, Elevator & Door Safety businesses continued to have a more challenging time with revenues only a fraction up and profits down by 12%. The profit decline was mainly a result of our decision to invest more in our sales and distribution internationally and make some organisational changes. We will continue to make these investments in the second half since I believe they are essential if we are to deliver worthwhile organic growth from this sector in the longer term. *see Financial Highlights Key strategic actions being implemented to drive sustainable growth 'The Group has responded to the growth challenge in impressive fashion. The overall energy level in the business has been raised by several notches and directed into selected areas. 'Since the start of the year we have; • Recovered sales and profit growth in our Water businesses as planned. • Exited the unprofitable Resistor Transit contracts as planned and delivered sales and profit growth in Resistors. • Completed three acquisitions, one of them since the half year end, all of which strengthen the Group's technology and products in key areas. • Through the purchase of Texecom in November, at a purchase price of £26 million the second largest in the Group's history, made a strategic move into the growing security sensor market. • Disposed of a lower technology specialist business, SEAC. • Merged two sets of businesses in the Industrial Safety and Infrastructure Sensors sectors. • Established new manufacturing operations in Eastern Europe and North Africa. • Established further sales offices in the US, Europe, China and India. • Won new OEM contracts with major global companies in Health Analysis and Infrastructure Sensors. • Formalised long-term debt facilities of up to £60 million. 'This list is not exhaustive but gives you an indication of the range and significance of our actions. I look forward to reporting further progress in our Annual Report. New reporting sectors will add clarity externally and increase opportunities 'You will note in the following pages that we are now reporting our results under three sector headings. This is not merely a change to make the Group more readily understood, but one that will enable me, through the Divisional Chief Executives and the Subsidiary Executives, to continually develop and implement more coherent market-driven growth strategies. The new sectors group together businesses that have much in common, including market growth rates, market drivers, operating characteristics, distribution channels, technologies and customers. Improving prospects for sustained organic growth 'None of this would be possible without the hard work, commitment and skill of the people at all levels of our organisation. As I travel around the Group I continue to be impressed by what is being achieved and can see a greater sense of common purpose across the Group. It is heartening to see actions starting to translate into improved financial results too. 'I believe the progress made so far this year already has put the Group in a stronger position to deliver organic growth on a more sustainable basis.'

This interim report for the 26 weeks to 1 October 2005 is the first interim report under IFRS and the first Annual Report under IFRS will be the Annual Report and Accounts for the 52 weeks to 1 April 2006. The interim report is unaudited and has been prepared on the basis of the accounting policies set out in the accounts for the 52 weeks to 2 April 2005, amended where necessary to comply with IFRS. Details of these amendments are set out in 'Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards', a separate document released by the Company on 2 September 2005 and available on the Company's website (www.halma.com) or from the Company Secretary. The accounting policies are drawn up in accordance with those International Accounting Standards ('IAS') and IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB') that are expected to be adopted by the European Union and available for use when the Annual Report and Accounts for the 52 weeks ended 1 April 2006 are prepared. However the accounting policies may need to be updated for interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee, new standards issued by the IASB, or continuing evolution of interpretation of existing IAS and IFRS. The figures shown for the 52 weeks to 2 April 2005 are based on the Group's statutory accounts for that period, restated for IFRS. These statutory accounts, which were prepared under UK Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ('UK GAAP'), received an unqualified audit report and have been filed with the Registrar of Companies. This interim report was approved by the Board of Directors on 6 December 2005. 3 Taxation The total Group tax charge for the 26 weeks to 1 October 2005 of £8,168,000 (2004: £7,300,000) is made up of a tax charge on profit from continuing operations of £8,283,000 (2004: £7,356,000) and a tax credit on losses from discontinued operations of £(115,000) (2004: £(56,000)). The tax charge for the 26 weeks to 1 October 2005 comprises a current taxation charge of £8,066,000 (2004: £7,224,000) and a deferred tax charge of £102,000 (2004: £76,000). The tax charge is based on the estimated effective tax rate for the year. The tax charge includes £4,481,000 (2004: £3,889,000) in respect of overseas tax. 4 Acquisitions In July 2005 the Group acquired Netherlocks Safety Systems B.V. for an initial cash consideration of € 3,000,000 plus additional consideration of up to €7,000,000, conditional on profit growth over the current and following financial year. In August 2005 the Group acquired Radio-Tech Limited for an initial cash consideration of £2,000,000 plus additional consideration of up to £2,500,000, based on earnings growth to March 2007. Together these acquisitions contributed £1,078,000 to Group revenue and £340,000 to Group profit from continuing operations and are reported in the Industrial Safety and Health and Analysis sectors respectively. 5 Discontinued operations During the period the Group exited from its Resistor Transit operations and in September 2005 sold SEAC Limited. The loss on closure/disposal includes gross disposal proceeds of £1,300,000. Both of these operations were previously included in the Industrial Safety sector. The results of these discontinued operations, which have been included in the Consolidated Income Statement, were as follows: 26 weeks to 26 weeks to 52 weeks to 1 October 2 October 2 April 2005 2004 2005 Revenue 4,368 3,980 7,817 Expenses (4,196) (4,072) (8,186) Profit/(loss) from operations 172 (92) (369) Taxation (54) 56 177 Profit/(loss) from operations after taxation 118 (36) (192) Loss on closure/disposal of operations (1,054) - - Associated goodwill (1,308) - - Taxation 169 - - Net loss from discontinued operations (2,075) (36) (192) 6 Earnings per share Earnings per share are calculated using the weighted average of 368,917,910 (2004: 367,669,622) shares in issue during the period. Earnings for continuing and discontinued operations were £18,082,000 and £(2,075,000) respectively (2004: £17,031,000 and £(36,000)). Diluted earnings per share are calculated using 369,212,399 shares (2004: 368,223,286) which includes dilutive potential ordinary shares of 294,489 (2004: 553,664). The Company's dilutive potential ordinary shares are calculated from those exercisable share options where the exercise price is less than the average price of the Company's ordinary shares during the period. Earnings from continuing operations per ordinary share before the amortisation of acquired intangibles represents a more consistent measure of underlying performance.
